"As a result of this protocol, we will begin, in September, the joint and shared management of the Cabinda School of Hotel and Tourism and, in 2025, of the Luanda School of Hotel and Tourism", wrote Carlos Abade in a post on social media.
The president of Turismo de Portugal considered that this is "an important first step in the process of internationalization of the Escolas do Turismo de Portugal, one of the 60 measures of the Accelerate the Economy program, and which reinforces the role of this network of schools as a powerful instrument of international cooperation and connection between peoples".
